Lysandre from Pokemon X/Y was motivated by the idea that the universe is naturally beautiful and that humans squeeze out the beauty from it through things like destruction of nature, privatization of historical landmarks, etc. In order to stop humans from continuing to destroy the beautiful Kalos region he set up Team Flare to develop a weapon to destroy the world. The buy-in being a few million dollars was to lure rich people (the ones who benefit from squeezing the beauty from nature the most) to the team so when the weapon actually gets deployed, Lysandre can personally make sure that it gets used on them too. After this, the world will be free of humans and Pokemon will be free to live in harmony with nature once againMarked for deletion (Old)
wasn't this the guy who set up the pyramid scheme to get people to find him and they "wouldn't" be murdered by his archeotech death laser lol (at least, it was a death laser in Y, IIRC having Xerneas in X makes a few plot points much dumber because it's the life deer and not the death bird)that was lulzylike, gen 6 kinda fucking sucks overall but I liked Lysandre
>IIRC having Xerneas in X makes a few plot points much dumber because it's the life deer and not the death birdlol, that's exactly what I was thinking about when I saw this thread this morning.anyway, I think Lysandre did nothing wrong
>>143621Most of the "villains" in fact did nothing wrong. They're usually in the right. Especially Chairman Rose. Pretty much most characters in SV are evil on some level, too. Especially the protagonist. She (probably) grapes Suguri/Kieran, steals away the Pokémon he wants, makes him go insane... it's actually pretty fucked.
>>143628wasn't rose's problem that he was legitimately too retarded to do his plan literally the day after the tournamentso he ended up rushing ahead like a moron and then did some retarded coup that fucked everything upinstead of going into it with the full support of his friends and full legal backingit was genuinely the dumbest writing, maybe the DLC makes it less retarded, I didn't bother to play past the base game honestlyhe was genuinely not in the wrong, but he was a lunatic retard who jumped the gun and made himself a criminal for no good reasonmost of the villains in Pokemon are merely retardedGiovanni was just a mob boss, so he gets a pass, same shit with the admins who wanted to revive Team Rocket Maxie and Archie failed their science courses at schoolCyrus was literally autistic, and not in a jokey way, he genuinely could not comprehend the emotions of others and decided to rewrite reality to suit himselfGhetsis was a good villain, he tried to prey on the underlying "are we doing the right thing with Pokemon" sentiment but only to strip power from the masses, good plan, good execution Lysandre had the right idea, but he also was willing to use a massive ancient death cannon to achieve his idealsI can't remember what was up in gen 7 (crazy mom?), and I already mentioned gen 8gen 9's villain was child neglect lolol arven's parents are just bad people who were obsessed beyond reason
>>143689in gen 7, the crazy mom was mindbroken by her husband going missing, and she was neglectful of her kids and wanted everything she cared about to be preserved in a forever-perfect state or something like that.amusingly, you can come across her husband in a side game-mode where you farm beans on an island. he has amnesia and is just enjoying life
